Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules and proteins useful for regulating the expression of genes in eukaryotic cells and organisms are disclosed. The invention provides a transcriptional activator fusion protein which binds to tet operator sequences and stimulates transcription of a tet operator-linked gene in the presence, but not the absence, of tetracycline (or analogue thereof). The invention further provides transcriptional inhibitor fusion proteins which inhibit transcription of a tet operator-linked gene in a regulated manner. In one embodiment, the inhibitor fusion protein binds to tet operator sequences in the absence, but not the presence, of tetracycline (or analogue). In another embodiment, the inhibitor fusion protein binds to tet operator sequences in the presence, but not the absence, of tetracycline (or analogue). The transcriptional activator and inhibitor fusion proteins of the invention can be used in combination to regulate expression of one or multiple tet operator-linked genes. Novel tet operator-containing transcription units which allow for coordinate or independent tetracycline-regulated expression of two or more genes by the transcriptional modulators of the invention are also disclosed. Kits including the components of the regulatory system are also encompassed by the invention. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method involves an interrogator emitting an interrogation signal (SI) obtained by modulating a carrier wave, with a firs modulation signal produced by one or more pseudo-random sequences of interrogation (PN1). The transponder, after receiving the reception interrogation signal, emits a response signal (SR) obtained by modulation of the carrier wave with the second modulati signal produced by one or more pseudo-random response sequences (PN2) which are orthogonal to the pseudo-random interrogation sequence. For measuring the distance, one effects a correlation of signal received by the interrogating object (M1/1) with the characteristic code of the pseudo-random response sequence (PN2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a medical device, such as a stent or a balloon catheter that includes an expandable body portion which has an exterior surface that contacts a vessel wall during treatment. The medical device includes a first coating disposed over at least a portion of the exterior surface. The first coating includes a therapeutic substance that is intended for controlled release from the exterior surface. The medical device further includes a second coating overlaying at least a substantial portion of the first coating. The second coating includes a material that is generally impervious to elution of the therapeutic substance therethrough when the body portion is inserted into the vessel lumen. The material of the second coating is relatively inelastic so that the second coating fractures during expansion of the body portion to allow elution of the therapeutic substance through fissures formed in the second coating.
